Talk:OGC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"An emoticon that depicts a man masturbating" What? I don't understand. I can't see any masturbation in "OGC" - this sounds like immature vandalism. We need a citation or an explanation. -Not Diablo 05:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

orz (sometimes seen as Or2, On_, OTZ, OTL, O7Z, Sto, Jto, _no, _|￣|○) spawned a subculture in late 2004.[3] It illustrates a person facing left and kneeling on the ground: the "o" symbolizes the head, the "r" represents the arms and the body while the "z" shows the legs. People use the pictograph to show that they have failed and/or they are in despair. It is not read phonetically, the letters are spelled out. Not to be confused with m(_ _)m, which means an apology.
Orz is associated sometimes with the phrase "nice guy" - that is, the concept of males being rejected for a date by girls they are pursuing with a phrase like "You're a nice guy," "I'd like to be your friend," etc.
On imageboards, it has been used not only for failure and despair, but also as a symbol for the kowtow, illustrating instead a person bowing down in worship of a certain picture that was posted.
Many other emoticons are inspired by orz, including:
OGC - man masturbating himself
oec - man masturbating himself (lefthander)
08>C - woman masturbating herself

But I don't know if it is really relevant here anyway. Should I put it back since I found a source? Lucasbfr 11:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Sure, just revert my edit. Maybe this can be explained on the Emoticon page?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Not Diablo (talk • contribs) . Oops, forgot to sign above comment. Added "Unsigned" template. -Not Diablo 11:11, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I see you reverted it (I was editing the page myself to explain the meaning). Fine for me (I had troubles finding it on google too, that must not be used a lot) Lucasbfr 11:39, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I could not verify on Google either. Until a link is provided that is not a Wikipedia fork, the definitions should stay off the page, and off the Emoticon page too. -Not Diablo 11:45, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Is it verifiable now? --DocumentN (talk) 06:36, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

The word of "OGC" was created by Taiwanese people related to PTT. I can explain how it works. The "O" means head. The "G" part is the key part, you need to look it as C combined with one little -, it just looking like two hand holding the little "-". As the for the "C" it just means leg. I guess this is enough. 140.120.34.205 09:29, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
